This document summarizes Martine Rothblatt Terasem's annual workshop on geoethical nanotechnology. The workshop discussed topics like hybridizing nature with technology and how people are increasingly hybridizing with machines. It outlines two geoethical principles - activities with global effects require consent from all affected parties and independent assurance of compliance. It also discusses concepts like autonomy, beneficence, and risk allocation. Specific examples discussed include obtaining consent for "Frankenfolk" and ensuring independent oversight of nanobot swarms and antibiotic control.
